A Massacre!
An Awakening!
And The True Face of Evil!
Featuring another classic TODD McFARLANE cover!!!
As the world eagerly awaits the gifts of their newest savior, Jim Downing’s struggle for control over the darkness within him threatens to jeopardize everything he has worked to build. Violence erupts in the deserts of Mexico as the K7 goes on a feeding frenzy, and for the first time Jim awakens to the realities of the monster that lives within him. Can a man live with so much blood on his hands, or will the weight of the world’s sins crush any hope of salvation? While Jim wrestles with his new reality, an old adversary explores the true power behind Jim’s”miracles,” as THE CURSE makes his deadly return!
Also Featured: The K7-Leetha is a weapon of mass destruction birthed in the pits of Hell, a living creation built for one purpose — death. But what happens when a tool of unending violence has its own ambitions? A dark future awaits and the path forward begins here.

Joe Fitzgerald was a mob enforcer until the day he met Laura, who convinced him to leave that world behind. Before quitting, Joe agreed to one last job, little realizing that the man he’d been sent to kill was deeply involved in demonlogy. He survived Joe’s attempt and came after him, fatally wounding Joe and killing Laura. As he lay dying, an angelic force (who may or may not be what she appears) pointed out that where she is going, he can’t follow, and where he is going, he wouldn’t want her to follow. But if he will agree to work for them as a different kind of enforcer, they will bring him to life and keep on bringing him to life every time he is killed in a righteous cause. The reward: for those five minutes of death, he will be with Laura again. Would you endure an eternity of pain and death, dying over and over, to be with the woman you love for just five minutes each time you died? Most people might say no. But Joe Fitzgerald isn’t most people.
A bold new era begins with the long-anticipated return of Joe’s Comics, the imprint that brought you MIDNIGHT NATION and RISING STARS. All-new stories from J.

Bedlam #2 Receives 2nd Printing
Continuing the amazing string of sell-outs and hits for Image Comics, Nick Spencer and Riley Rossmo‘s second issue of their new psychological horror series has sold out at the distributor level and will be reprinted to satisfy readers’ demands.
Bedlam #2, originally in stores on November 28, has sold out as expected. Image Comics has seen an amazing resurgence this, their 20th year. The journey of Fillmore Press from psychotic child-killer Madder Red to a “recovered” responsible community member has proven to be one of comics’ darkest diversion this year.
While my personal opinions of it is a bit more down than others, it’s proving popular with the fans.
